The State I'm In Tonight (and it ain't Ohio...)

Well, if last Wednesday was a guacamole day, this one is a Bowl-of-cereal-at 11 p.m. kind of night.

Perish the thought of life without cereal.

I might cry a little if I think about it too hard.

But the point is, I'm up to my eyeballs in paper scraps and my lids are drooping and I have miles to go before I sleep.

And miles to go before I slee-ee-eep.

Also? Have you ever done that thing where you fire off an email so quickly that you don't notice that while you think you're emailing your best gal, you're actually emailing the wife of your husband's ex-boss?

You have?

Well, when you did it, did your email contain a naughty word that you have probably never typed out in all of your days, but you had no choice but to type it out this time because you were quoting Anne Lamotte?

hahahah. I've done something quite similar. Isn't tonight writing night? How'd it go? I sooo wish I could eat cereal!! I miss it almost as much as I miss yogurt. I'm still working, but it's only 9 here. :) Have fun with Becky tomorrow!!! I'm super duper jealous!!

Ha! At least it wasn't a 'vent' email to your mother in law that you never ment to send, but rather draft. You can imagine my panik when I awoke in the night and realized my mistake. As for the cereal...don't even joke like that! I'd die w/out my Honey Nut Cheerios. :D

bahahahba! well i guess ex boss is better than current boss, no?? i mean if we have to measure such things.. :) and seriously-- now i'm hungry. i have to hide my cereal because all the peeps in my hoouse eat it up. off to scavage. :)

Well, this will cure what ails you, Farmgirl. One week from yesterday, so, basically six days from now, or since it's tomorrow where you are, in five days, (are you still with me?), season five, (the final season)(moment of silence), of FNL is out on DVD.Please excuse the grammatical carnage and blatant overuse of commas in the above sentence. Oh, and here's to good friends, livin large in Texas.

No I haven't done the email thing, but I did have a slip of the tongue moment on the phone which was as bad if not worse. I can't share due to atty-client confidentiality but Oh, it was bad. Pass the milk.

If it makes you feel any better...one time, in a flurry of calls as a receptionist, I told a gentlemen on the phone (who happened to be the director of the Juvenile Department).... "Thank you for helping, can I hold you?" I won't tell you his response. It might make ye readers a bit uncomfortable. ha! Hope you got the rest you needed!

...or maybe have you sent a text to your sister-in-law saying you're selling the hideous jewelry box she gave you for your birthday when you actually thought you were texting your cousin. Yes, I said hideous. No, I could not take it back. It was done. And the jewelry box was hideous.

Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird has to be one of my favorite books of all time. And I'm with you on the cereal thing - I think I've had it for dinner twice this week (it's what happens when Hubby's working late all the time).

I once mistakenly e-mailed my boss a catty e-mail complaining about her (I thought I was sending it to a co-worker). Thank God for the "recall" feature in Outlook. If she ever read it, to her credit, she didn't mention it.

i made sour cream coffee cake last night. baking therapy. However, I do love a bowl of cereal when times get tough. Feel better. Once I emailed my boss on accident instead of my friend. The email may have contained a clip art squirrel. I caught my mistake and deleted it, but he insisted on me sending it again when he noticed that I had deleted it. Humiliating.-Your hard working pal

If I could live my life eating Lucky Charms and Fruity Pebbles, I would be a happy girl!

As usual, you made me LOL.

I just sent an email to the wrong person 2 days ago. I was horrified, but luckily there were no curse words or anything bad. It was FOR my husband regarding easter. What I received back was "I think this was meant for someone else. You really love the person you sent this to. He also knows Richard."
